The Philadelphia Eagles tight end exited Saturday morning's public practice at Lincoln Financial Field with an apparent arm injury, which set off a series of rumors about social media on the extent of his injury. Some of the rumors involved Goedert leaving the stadium with an air cast on his right arm.

Goedert was held out of Sunday morning's practice, but he said afterward that it's an elbow injury and he "should be back in the next day or two."

"Nothing serious, a bump and a bruise type thing," Goedert said.

Goedert said he's used to having attention on him. During his career at South Dakota State, he was one of the most productive players in the Football Championship Subdivision. He caught 164 passes for 2,404 yards and 18 touchdowns in his final two seasons. The Eagles traded up to select him in the second round of April's draft, and as the team's first selection, there's extra interest in him.

"It's pretty crazy, it's kind of what the media does, the social media world, people overreact," Goedert said. "Nobody was sure. They're like, he might have a broken arm, but we don't really know, so they were just kind of saying things. It's nice to know that I know what's going on."

Goedert's expected to play a significant role in Philadelphia's offense after Trey Burton and Brent Celek departed in the offseason. Goedert has the inside track to get significant playing time alongside Pro Bowler Zach Ertz.

Goedert showed off his tantalizing potential with four catches for 66 yards and a touchdown in Thursday night's preseason game. With 35,000 fans at Saturday's practice, there was extra interest in him, and his public exit from practice enhanced that.

But in the end, Goedert said it's a "minor injury." He'll be back at practice soon, and he knows he'll have plenty of eyes on him.

"Yeah, it is kind of weird," Goedert said. "It's cool, though. We got some great fans out here. People that care and that's kind of why they're putting it out there because they care and that's a pretty cool feeling, but it is a little bit weird."
